Why Families Go
Horseback riding on the beach is one of those Caribbean experiences that stays with children long after the trip. The guides are patient with first-time riders, the horses are well matched to each rider, and the combination of beach and Barbadian countryside makes for a genuinely special outing. It stands out from a week of beach days and is the kind of activity the whole family talks about afterwards.
